The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority wants drivers to sign a pledge to not text and drive.
The OTA is asking drivers to take a safe driving pledge.
“We believe this safe driving pledge is a great way for drivers to share with one another the dangers of texting and driving,” Tim Gatz, OTA executive director said.
“Using cell phones while operating a vehicle is a cognitive distraction, resulting in a loss of focus on up to 50 percent of their driving environment. OTA’s mission includes providing safe travel, so we’re encouraging all motorists to take the safe driving pledge and not text and drive.”
The law banning texting while driving in Oklahoma is now a year old.
The OTA requests drivers to sign the pledge and then share on social media.
